Hello all, I have a simple question.

I'm using the command:
to convert a folder of pngs to pgms. While I understand why it does it, morgify just makes a new image in the different format. I have a bunch of images and don't want to keep doubling the size of the directory. Is there a way to make mogrify just replace the image? If not, is there a way to delete all of a type of image (i.e. png) once i'm done mogrifying it all?

Thanks!!

It just so happens that this question was answered (two days ago) about 10 posts below yours. see viewtopic.php?f=1&t=23980 and the ephemeral: option. http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/files/#ephemeral

Ahh! Wouldya look at that! Thanks so much! I apologize for not taking the time to dig deeper and see if the question had already been answered. Poor forum etiquette of me, but thank you so much!
